About Anna

Dr. Anna Engels is a Co-Founder of Yoga Lab Studio in State College, PA, and creator of Sunny Get Up.  She is a yoga teacher registered at the E-RYT 500 and YACEP levels with Yoga Alliance.  Her yoga teaching and practice combines her background in psychology with a strong grounding in anatomy and functional movement to create intelligent and fun sequences that flow with the breath and connect you to your core. She has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, and her clinical interests and academic research focus on stress, anxiety, depression, and their associated patterns of brain activity using fMRI. She is also a photographer and loves traveling the world, capturing moments of beauty.  She recently launched Sunny Get Up - a line of eco-friendly yoga pants with designs drawn from her nature photography - with the goal to raise money for environmental charities. She currently teaches yoga at Yoga Lab and in the Penn State Kinesiology Department.

Strong Foundations Tonight: "Bloom"

4/30/2019

 

Strong Foundations Tonight

5:45- 7:15pm at Yoga Lab

“Bloom”

Flowers don’t bloom all at once
It takes effort, time, patience
Mud too
Try building layers gradually
Bringing a little spring
Not a wild swing or fling
Grow from strength
So that flower can bloom
From a Strong Foundation

Music (turn sound on): “Bloom” by Deya Dova ​
(flower pants are my own design :)

Happy Earth Day!
